HIT seeks a mobility platform developer for its Catapult Facility—a defence/industrial equipment procurement under government rules.
This appears medium-to-large scale given HIT's tier and FOR delivery terms. Three-month execution window is standard but tight if design/manufacturing overlap. The requirement for prior government contract experience (3 years mandatory) signals this is not entry-level work; established defence suppliers with production capability are targeted. No recurring mention suggests one-off platform development, likely custom-built rather than COTS.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold NTN and Sales Tax Registration. Typically, PEC registration (Category A/B) required for defence manufacturing work, though not explicitly stated here. Pre-qualification or registration from HIT/DGP/MoDP mandatory. Three years' documented government/semi-government contract execution essential—a significant barrier for new entrants. Judicial certificate of non-blacklisting required.
